SMTP Port # for use in hotels etc

Ive tried various methods and have webmail enabled but wondering if there is a recommended alternate port user's can input into entourage/mail when in a hotel or something where 25 is blocked. What's a recommended way to change it or add it on there Xserve? (10.4.x)
Currently I used a relay on another port but want to get rid of that.
Thanks

Your client can use ANY port the server is configured to use.
By default, OS X Server mail only accepts smtp on port 25.
If you are using OS X Server as your SMTP, you can enable other ports (any unused port like 2525, 5000, 587, 5555 etc etc etc) by modifying master.cf
If you want to enable another port with the same options as port 25, find this line:
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
Add another below it
587 inet n - n - - smtpd
Above will enable port 587.
Be sure to map the port in your router.
Then issue:
suso postfix reload
You can test a connection by issuing:
telnet mail.domain.com 587
If you receive a postfix greeting, it worked.
You can use master.cf to control what is allowed on each port.
On my server, I have port 587 set to ONLY accept mail with SMTP Authentication, not even for local delivery.
Port 25 is configured to ONLY accept mail for local delivery, and never allows relay, not even with SMTP Authentication.

Using different SMTP port for external user registration

Hi,
I need to configure a different SMTP port rather than the default port 25 for sending all external user registation invites, reset password, etc... Would it possible to configure that? I am using Adobe Policy Server 7.0.2.
Thanks.
Regards,
Prem.

Hola,
Ok a small 'enhancement' to CL_HRRCF_ADDRESS_SERVICE->IS_EMAIL_UNIQUE has done the trick. Not exactly a best practice but will get me through this testing. NO this will not be going to production. This is strictly a test.
Cheers!

How can I see / change the smtp ports in use by FF 12.0 on my WIN2K antique?

My webmail account works, though slowly, when I'm using NetScape 7.1. When I try to use the same program and service with FireFox 12.0, I can receive email, but sending email gets me an error message that's something like "Could not establish an SMTP commection with the server." The service tells me that my outgoing smtp port should be 465 if I'm using SSL, and 25 if I'm not using SSL. Also, if I'm asked about "authentication," it should be "the same as incoming." Where do I find these settings in FF12.0?
I'm asking this question on another computer, not the one I'm having trouble with. My problem child is an IBM Aptiva running Windows 2000 Version 5.0 (Build 2195; Service Pack 4) Copyright 1981-1999 Microsoft Corp. Physical memory available to Windows: 64,824 KB

Gingerbread_Man, you were right on the nose with the answer to the problem. After I installed Simple Mail v. 2.83.2, my webmail began to work with Firefox v. 12.0. My s-l-o-w computer is now a bit faster, as well, though I don't know how that could have had any connection with Simple Mail. Oh, Telga, TechnalXS, the developer, changed versions to 2.84 while I was installing 2.83.2, so I started over and finished up with the new one. What had me going was that every time I tried to print a copy of their web site, Firefox crashed and burned. Had to be that document, because other things print just fine. Anyway, thanks for your help. I'm going to recommend that Santa put you on his "good list!"

How do I set outgoing smtp port for mail program ?

How do I set a port for the outgoing mail server (smtp)? If you go to
SETTINGS \ <email account> \ ADVANCED
you can only associate a port with the INCOMING SETTINGS. I need to associate a port with the Outgoing Server. How do I do this?

Tap on the outgoing smtp server under Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars and your email account. You will then see the advanced settings for the outgoing smtp server.

Setting up Airport Express for use in hotel room

How can I set up AE so that I can just plug it in to an ethernet cable in a hotel room? I want to primarily use it as a wifi connection with my iPhone, so I would prefer to not have to adjust settings. Is this possible?

I'm going overseas for a week, have some time on my hands so will give it a go.
Well, the pdf guide that came with the Airport Express says you can. It's a matter of following the setup wizard....
There's no step by step screen shots, so you can only go by Apple's word that this does actually happen.
Good luck.

How do I set Tbird 31.5 to show options for using italics, boldface, etc. in composing and replying to email? Have been using Tbird for years and can't get it.

I really have been using Tbird for years and I can't get the options for italics etc to show when composing or replying. I'm an editor looking for job so this is relevant. Please save me from Outlook. Thanks.

I believe you can specify italics by putting a slash before and after the text, bold is done using asterisks before and after text, and underline is done using the underline character before and after text.

Here Is How To Get FCE Icons For Use In Projects etc.

A few months ago RyanManUtd wanted an FCE icon to use in a project.
I managed to provide one after much fiddling but it was not perfect.
I have now discovered how to save an icon in seconds which is near-perfect and can be superimposed easily.
To get the icons simply ctrl-click the FCE icon in the Applications folder (not the Dock) and select "Show Contents".
Open the Contents folder and you will find several FCE icons. Double-click them to open them in Preview and select the largest.
Then choose File>Save As, and make sure you save it as a PNG file with transparency.
You can then superimpose it over anything in your projects or in Photoshop like this:-
Most other apps have similar icons.

But I don't know how to get the BlueTooth cursor to stay put and not move! I tried clicking the right side of my BlueTooth mouse and that makes the cursor stay still, but it is hard to click that right click without also pushing the left side of the mouse to make a left click.
Never in my life have I ever used any click buttons on my mouse.
Anyhow, when I did the clumsy right click on my mouse and went to Edit there was NO OPTION TO CREATE A STILL FRAME! ¿Qué pasa here?

Alert emails to a non standard SMTP port

Is it possible to configure LiveCycle ES 8.2 to send its alert emails to an SMTP server on a non standard port? In the AdminUI there is a field for the server but not for the port.
Thanks,

Hi Jon
Sorry, I thought we were talking about Task Notifications not Administrator Notifications.
Changing the port in the Email Notifications process will work for Task Notifications.
Administrator Notifications use the Java mail default, which is port 25 unless otherwise specified on your system.
Are you using the JBoss Turnkey?
if so, you can try this:
1. Navigate to C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8.2\jboss\server\all\deploy
2. Locate the properties-service.xml file.
3. uncomment the following block and set the property as follows:
    
    <attribute name="Properties">
          smtp.mail.port =<your port #>
    </attribute>
4. You don't need to restart JBoss.
The only downside is that this is now the smtp port for that server and any other apps on that server.
If you can live with that, it's an easy workaround.

Plugins & sampltank not showing up for use?

Hi there, I am still having trouble with plugins, can anyone help?
Firstly, after installing and ensuring the AU ones are installed, my plugins do not show up for use in channels etc. they work perfectly in both Bias & ProTools though.
i) I downloaded the waves demos for a 14 day trial and Logic doesn't find them, do I have to do something manually for them to be noticed?
ii) Sampletank2 does not show up either (AU installed). I downloaded the free version and it DOES show up.
Argh...
G

OK, last I checked the Waves passed Validation (I am not a Waves owner) so the demo version may be older-if you are considering purchasing them make sure you get all answers about AU Validation from Waves.
Another thing: Logic Pro comes with a great suite of Plugins. You may want to consider that alternative if you were thinking of buying Waves.
What do you mean it should have happened at startup? It should have validated or they should have passed validation?
Cheers, J

Using a different port for SMTP

Where can I change my preference of port number for SMTP? I would like to use 366 since I think my ISP is blocking port 25.

Your ISP blocks inbound and/or outbound 25?
Port 25 is used for server-server communication and can't be changed.
If your ISP blocks port 25 inbound, then your server can't receive mail from other servers, even if you change it's port.
If your ISP blocks 25 outbound, you still need to send to a destination port 25. For outbound, the only thing you can do is relay through your ISP (either from client, or configure postfix to relay through ISP).
When people add alternate ports for SMTP, it's for the mail client to submit mail to the server. From there, server-server is always going to have a dest port of 25.
If you wish to add an alternate port (you said you wanted 366) for mail submission, edit /etc/postfix/master.cf
Find this line:
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
add another below it (location doesn't really matter) like this:
366 inet n - n - - smtpd
Then stop/start mail server and port 366 will accept smtp connections.
FYI- the standard port for smtp submission is 587. Doesn't matter if you want to use another port (366), just make sure you're not trampling on another service which may use that port.

How to configure Mail to use different ports for POP and SMTP?

I am trying to configure Mail for my AT&T account. It requires me to configure POP (incoming) mail for port 995, and SMTP (outgoing) mail for port 465. However there doesn't seem to be an option to configure different ports for these. Is that correct, or am I missing something?
Alternatively can I configure two accounts, one for POP incoming and one for SMTP outgoing? My incoming POP account does work, but in configuring an outgoing account I still have to configure a POP server name and that will not work for the outgoing port.
Any advice on how to solve this would be appreciated.

Understand. It is really quite easy to do in Mail, too. Kappy told you how to set up the smtp piece. I gave you pop info. These two things are on different panels within Account Preferences.
To recap his and my posts
SMTP:
In Mail Prefs, click on the accounts icon. Click on your att yahoo account on the list. On the right of the window, in the lower portion, you see an smtp server menu. Open it and select edit. Select Edit Server, then click on its Advanced tab. Set up port 465 with SSL.
POP:
This is on a different panel in Mail PRefs Accounts. Now in Mail Prefs, click on the accounts icon. Click on your att yahoo account on the list. On the right of the window, you see three tabs, acc't info, mbox behaviors, and Advanced. This is where things are different than for smtp. You are going to configure stuff on a different "advanced" panel than where you were for the smtp stuff. Click on the advanced tab. There is a field for port with a SSL checkbox next to it and an authentication drop down menu. Check the box and it should quickfill change from 110 to 995. Autentication drop down is probably already default to password.
Did you visit the URL I gave you previously? It even gives you screen shots.

Sending email using IMAP through SMTP Port 587

Hi,
I have been sending Mail Merged email to people in organizations that I am active in, using IMAP embedded in StarOffice 5.2 (on Windows 98 Second Edition). This worked fine until a few weeks ago when I received an error message stating that AOL, as part of their anti-spam efforts, was no longer accepting third-party emails on default port 25. All third-party email must now use port 587. I looked in the IMAP dialog and in the Tools -> Options dialog, but did not see any place to change the SMTP port. The AOL error message information page had instructions for changing the port in other applications (Outlook, Eudora, etc.), but not for StarOffice. So, I have some questions:
1.Is it possible to change the port in StarOffice 5.2?
2.If not, how does StarOffice 8 send Mail Merged email? Does it use IMAP, and if so, can the port be changed?
3.Also, I like the integrated configuration in StarOffice 5.2, where database fields can be directly accessed in the Insert -> Fields -> Other dialog. In looking at the Mail Merge section in "SO8_What's New.pdf", it appears that Mail Merge in StarOffice 8 is restricted to predefined fields. Could I still access fields from my existing databases?
These is a lot of questions, but right now I am blocked from sending Mail Merged emails which is imparing communications with volunteers who are running educational programs. I appreciate any and all help that anyone can provide.

Please try this out!!!!!!!!!
You can send emails using Outlook also. You can send email over Microsoft Exchange with this object (or another email server, using IMAP/POP).
Sub SendMailOutlook(aTo, Subject, TextBody, aFrom)
'Create an Outlook object
Dim Outlook 'As New Outlook.Application
Set Outlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
'Create e new message
Dim Message 'As Outlook.MailItem
Set Message = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With Message
'You can display the message To debug And see state
'.Display
.Subject = Subject
.Body = TextBody
'Set destination email address
.Recipients.Add (aTo)
'Set sender address If specified.
Const olOriginator = 0
If Len(aFrom) > 0 Then .Recipients.Add(aFrom).Type = olOriginator
'Send the message
.Send
End With
End Sub

Mailserver using non-standard smtp port

how do i set SMTP to accept connections on a non-standard port (i.e. 2525 or something)?
i'm running a mail server and my residential isp (comcast) after ten years of peaceful coexistence decided that they need to block port 25. so i am setting up a commercial store/forward mail relay service. all i need to do is set up my snow leopard server to accept incoming connections on a port other than 25. sounds easy. it is mentioned in the docs thusly:
"By default SMTP is enabled on port 25. If port 25 is blocked in your environment,
you need to change the port SMTP uses."
... but that's all i can find. specifically, it doesn't say exactly how to change the port.
any help appreciated.

following up to my own post. hoping this info may be useful for others who face the same issue who are running a server and then having email ports blocked by their ISP's.
i worked around this by signing up for a mail relay service (i use the one provided by dnydns.com). they forward incoming mail for my domain over a nonstandard port.
since i never received an answer to my question about how to make SnowLeopardServer email server accept SMTP connections on other ports, i simply used port mapping in my router (Airport Extreme) to redirect this port (i used 2525) on my WAN address to port 25 on my server - an acceptable workaround.
i also did the same port redirection for the other "standard alternative" smtp ports, 465 and 587.
since my ISP blocks port 25 in both directions, i also needed to find a work-around for outgoing mail as well. previously, my mail server simply forwarded to my ISP's smtp server (using the default port 25). here the Server Admin interface worked but with one "trick": under Mail>Settings>General, i left the box for "Relay outgoing mail through host:" checked, and in the field there i put "[smtp.myispdomain.net]:587" (that is with square brackets, and a colon, but no double-quotes - and of course, use your own smtp server's domain name). afaik this is not documented anywhere in the apple-provided docs, but i found the corresponding docs for postfix, and reverse-engineered it.
so now i can read (via IMAP) and send (via SMTP) mail from my home server, both when i am on my LAN and when i am accessing remotely, and effectively work around the bi-directional block of port 25 imposed by my ISP.
i'd still like to know if there is a method of configuring smtp to accept connections on ports other than 25. i can see how to do it by editing /etc/postfix/master.cf, but afaik that file gets overwritten by Server Admin...

How do I create Labview VISA ports for *individual* GPIB instruments using Prologix USB GPIB controller?

Hello,
I'm trying to use a Prologix USB GPIB controller to control GPIB
instruments, and I would like to have a virtual serial (VISA) port for
*each instrument*, as is the case with a normal GPIB controller with a
standard NI driver. However this is not what the Prologix driver
provides -- it provides a single VISA virtual serial port for the
entire controller. To address the instrument with GPIB address 11,
you first send "++addr 11" to the serial port, and then you're talking
to instrument 11. However, this means I have to change all old
Labview programs.
Is it possible to create a "wrapper" function of some kind that will
define a virtual serial (VISA) port for each *instrument* on the
controller? For example, to talk to GPIB instrument 11, call it
ASRL3::11::INSTR, each time it is written to it would have to write to
the virtual serial port of the controller, say ASRL3::INSTR, first "+
+addr 11" and then the command that is sent to it.
A clearer explanation of the difference (i.e. incompatibility), and of
my objective:
1) A normal GPIB controller with NI driver: I go to the NI
Measurement & Instrumentation Panel, under GPIB, and Scan for
Instruments; all the live instruments show up; subsequently when I
want to use Labview programs that use VISA ports, the VISA drop boxes
allow me to choose a different port for each instrument, e.g.
"GPIB0::11::INSTR", "GPIB0::12::INSTR" would be instruments at
addresses GPIB 11 and GPIB 12.
2) The Prologix GPIB controller that plugs into a USB port: In
Labview you get a *single* VISA virtual serial port, ASRL3::INSTR, for
the entire GPIB0 controller. Therefore to address GPIB instrument 11,
you write "++addr 11" to the virtual serial port ASRL3::INSTR, and
then you are communicating with device 11, so you can write and read
ASRL3::INSTR to talk to that device. Then to talk to device GPIB 12,
you write "++addr 12" to the same VISA port, and then you are talking
to that device. The problem is that this requires recoding all
Labview code, whereas I would like to be able to use the same program
either with a normal or with a Prologix GPIB controller. Therefore, I
would like to create code that scans the controller for all GPIB
attached devices and creates VISA ports for all. Such ports, when
written to, would have to first write "++addr DEVICENUM" to
ASRL3::INSTR (i.e. the port of the GPIB-USB controller) where
DEVICENUM is the GPIB address of the instrument corresponding to that
port, and then would have to do a write or read or whatever function
is being done on that instrument VISA port.
I haven't figured out if it is possible to do this easily. Help and
pointers on where to look for hints would be much appreciated. Many
thanks!
Milos

My first impression is that if you don't want to make any changes at all to existing programs is that the wrapper you need is one around VISA. You would need to intercept all of the calls into the NI VISA driver. If you create your own visa32.dll and in there, change the addressing and then call the real VISA driver, you might (repeat, might) get something to work. If this would even work, you still might find that you have to make significant changes anyway. The serial connection is going to be considerably slower, and interface specific functions such as service request handling, bus triggering of multiple instruments, etc., would be difficult to impossible. This would be a lot of work, imho, to just save a couple of hundred dollars over a real GPIB controller. I've seen this Prologix device before and have even used NI's RS-232->GPIB controller. The Prologix intended use to me seems to me more for a hobbyist or very casual user. Of course, I'm used to having multiple GPIB instruments worth 10s/100s of thousands of dollars and the cost of an fully compliant GPIB controller is just lost in the noise.
